Why is it okay to administer a shock to teach a dog to do something here? Can that technique be used to train other animals or unruly human beings? Many professional dog trainers go to school for months to learn methods outside of shock collars utilization while it only takes a few weeks to attend a course to train dogs using a shock collar method.
